Compensation expert Yvonne Chen testified in the discrimination lawsuit against Anheuser-Busch brought by former top executive Francine Katz. Katz alleged that she missed out on $9.4 million in compensation. However, a St Louis jury ruled on May 16, 2014 that AB didn’t discriminate against Katz. While her base salary was half that of her male predecessor John Jacob, the defense argued that Jacob had considerably more responsibilities than Katz.
